Last year we were getting......well, bored, there’s no other word applies. So we thought it’d be a good idea to write new songs. This didnt happen, there was no enthusiasm for it, so in January we decided to give it a rest.
It’s that ordinary and sensible. How thrilling it would be to reveal that we had a huge bust up one night over drugs and money. Or would that be ordinary too? Can’t decide. Anyways, that’s the story.
Then when we all felt the ’ itch ’ again, Badger had certain work commitments that rendered us unable to play. So it all lay dormant. Some times it was missed, some times it was bloody good to have your Saturday nights back.
Due to the economy going down the fucking U bend, both myself and Badger have found ourselves without jobs. So Far-Cue are two thirds redundant.With redundancy comes time, so we thought it might be fun to get back together and rehearse, see what happened.
Before this we thought it’d be sensible to all get in the same room together, for the first time in about 6 months. We arranged a drinky at the local tavern and that was that.
Then it turns out our friends Nobodys Heroes, who were supposed to be playing the tavern that night, had to pull out. So we were asked if we would do it. In a moment of insanity, we said yes.
First gig for ages, no rehearsals, no planning, just get up there and do it. Lesser bands would have failed, or at least bottled it. Not the Cue. Within 3 songs it was like we’d only gigged yesterday. A damn good time had by all.
So watch this space. We’ll be gigging around again soon, hopefully doing some new songs, and resurrecting a few old ones.
At present we’re booked to play The Wunderbar in Midsomer Norton on May 23rd. With any luck we’ll have a full set together by then.
